Company Description
ASPZ (HyOrc Corporation / Asia Properties Inc.) represents a company that has undergone a significant transition from its historical roots in real estate and resource-focused activities toward clean energy and hydrogen-based technologies. Earlier information described Asia Properties Inc. as a real estate company, while more recent disclosures and press releases show a pivot into hydrogen engines, waste-to-fuel systems, and green methanol production under the HyOrc brand.
According to company announcements, Asia Properties Inc. (trading as ASPZ on the OTC Pink Market) entered into an agreement to acquire SRE Power, Inc., a hydrogen technology company based in Texas. SRE Power is described as a cleantech business with technology derived from multiple mobility and power patents and focused on the development of the HyOrc engine for decarbonizing various industries. Following this acquisition agreement, the company stated its intention to change its name to HyOrc, Inc. and to align its activities around the HyOrc technology platform.
The HyOrc engine, as described in company communications, is designed for heavy-duty applications such as trucks, trains, ships, and stationary power stations. It is characterized as a hydrogen-based powertrain concept using an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and intended to offer high efficiency and zero emissions for hard-to-abate sectors. The company has highlighted the potential use of this engine in heavy goods vehicles and other large-scale transport and energy applications.
Subsequent news releases refer directly to HyOrc Corporation and describe it as a developer of multi-fuel hydrogen engines, modular clean fuel systems, and advanced waste-to-methanol technologies. These releases indicate that HyOrc is working on projects in regions such as the UK, the European Union, and North America, with a focus on hydrogen-powered locomotives, green methanol production, and containerized off-grid power systems. The company also reports work on modular hydrogen power units housed in standard shipping containers, designed for off-grid deployment and capable of operating on multiple fuels, including hydrogen and various low-carbon feedstocks.
In the green methanol segment, HyOrc describes a strategy centered on converting municipal and other waste-derived feedstocks into methanol for use as a low-carbon marine and industrial fuel. Company announcements detail Memoranda of Understanding for projects in locations such as Scunthorpe in the United Kingdom and Porto in Portugal, with the intention to deploy refuse-derived fuel gasification systems combined with methanol synthesis units. These projects are presented as part of a broader plan to build a European supply network for renewable methanol, targeting maritime and industrial decarbonization.
The company has also communicated plans to expand its project pipeline and to prepare for potential uplisting within the OTC market structure. Earlier, Asia Properties Inc. announced the engagement of a PCAOB-registered audit firm to conduct multi-year audits and indicated an intention to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission following completion of an acquisition and related audits.
Prior to its shift toward hydrogen and clean fuels, Asia Properties Inc. described activities related to evaluating and potentially acquiring gold mining claims in U.S. states such as Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska, with an emphasis on projects supported by technical geological reports. The company also referenced the use of blockchain and digital assets in connection with gold-related projects, including the creation and planned auction of an NFT linked to a Bering Sea clinker asset. These earlier activities illustrate the company’s historical focus before the transition to the HyOrc technology platform.
More recent communications emphasize HyOrc’s role in developing hydrogen combustion engines for rail and maritime applications, waste-to-methanol systems, and modular clean power solutions. The company describes its mission in terms of decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy-duty transport and industrial power, and positions its technology as an alternative to conventional fuel cells and battery-based systems.
Business Evolution
Based on available disclosures, ASPZ’s evolution can be summarized as follows:
- Historical identity as Asia Properties Inc., with links to real estate and later to resource and gold-related opportunities.
- A stated focus on acquiring and supporting innovative businesses through mergers and acquisitions.
- Execution of an agreement to acquire SRE Power, Inc., a hydrogen technology company, and an intention to rebrand as HyOrc, Inc.
- Subsequent references to HyOrc Corporation as a clean energy technology company working on hydrogen engines, waste-to-fuel systems, and green methanol projects.
Technology and Project Focus
Company releases describe several core areas of focus:
- HyOrc hydrogen engine: A powertrain concept for heavy-duty trucks, trains, ships, and stationary power, using hydrogen and an Organic Rankine Cycle.
- Waste-to-methanol systems: Gasification and methanol synthesis equipment designed to convert refuse-derived fuel and other waste streams into methanol.
- Modular clean power units: Containerized systems based on multi-fuel engines that can be deployed off-grid for critical infrastructure and industrial users.
- Hydrogen locomotive program: A program applying HyOrc’s hydrogen-capable powertrain technology to retrofit existing diesel locomotives.
These activities place ASPZ/HyOrc within the broader context of clean energy and decarbonization technologies, particularly for heavy transport, industrial energy, and low-carbon fuels.
Historical Activities
Before the hydrogen-focused pivot, Asia Properties Inc. communicated plans related to gold mining opportunities and the use of blockchain-based tools in the mining space. It referenced due diligence on potential gold mining claims and the development of NFTs associated with mining-related assets. These historical activities are part of the company’s background but are distinct from the later HyOrc technology and project pipeline.
Status and Trading
ASPZ is described in company communications as an OTC Pink Market company. Later releases refer to HyOrc Corporation trading on the OTC market under updated naming and symbol arrangements. The company has also discussed intentions to pursue higher-tier listings, subject to regulatory and business milestones.
